Cancel Brain.Fm: The Right Way
How to cancel Brain.Fm and reclaim your subscription in new zealand
What is Brain.Fm and how it works
Brain.Fm is a subscription audio service that streams functional music designed to boost your focus, deepen your relaxation, or improve your sleep using proprietary sound design technology.
You access Brain.Fm through their website or mobile apps on iOS and Android devices. The service streams audio on demand, and your subscription may be billed directly by Brain.Fm or through third parties like the Apple App Store or Google Play. This billing structure matters when you cancel, because the platform you used to sign up determines which cancellation process you follow.
How Brain.Fm delivers content to you
Once you subscribe, you stream audio tracks whenever you need them. The service works across web browsers and mobile devices, giving you flexibility to use Brain.Fm at home, at work, or on the move.
If you purchased your subscription directly through the Brain.Fm website, Brain.Fm handles your billing and cancellation. However, if you signed up through Apple or Google, those platforms process your payment and manage your subscription status. This distinction is critical: you cannot cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription through Brain.Fm itself. Stopee research shows that subscribers often waste time contacting the wrong support team when trying to cancel third-party app subscriptions.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand consumer protection law gives you specific safeguards when purchasing services online.
The consumer guarantees act and cooling-off rights
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to expect that any service you purchase is of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and as described. If Brain.Fm fails to deliver on these promises, you have grounds to request a refund or cancellation.
New Zealand also recognises a cooling-off period for remote purchases (including online subscriptions). You generally have up to 14 days from purchase to cancel your subscription and request a refund, provided you have not substantially used the service. Once you begin streaming content, your cooling-off rights may be limited or lost, depending on how you've engaged with the platform.
How stopee helps you assert your rights
Stopee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers understand their cancellation options and recover refunds under consumer protection law. If Brain.Fm refuses to honour your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you're entitled to, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission or seek guidance through Stopee. Reference your Consumer Guarantees Act rights in any communication with Brain.Fm support to strengthen your position.
Methods to cancel Brain.Fm
Your cancellation route depends on how you originally subscribed and where your billing is handled.
Cancel directly through the Brain.Fm website
If you signed up for Brain.Fm through their official website and pay them directly, you cancel through your account dashboard. This is the most straightforward path and gives you immediate confirmation.
- Visit the Brain.Fm website and sign in to your account using your email and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link to reset it before proceeding.
- Navigate to your Account settings (usually located in the top menu or profile icon).
- Look for sections labelled "Membership," "Subscription," or "Billing."
- Select the option to cancel your membership.
- Brain.Fm may ask you to confirm your decision or provide feedback about why you're leaving.
- Complete the cancellation and look for a confirmation message or receipt.
- Pro tip: Screenshot or download this confirmation. You'll need it if you later dispute a charge or request a refund.
- Wait for Brain.Fm to process your cancellation within two business days.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from support.
Cancel through apple app store
If you subscribed to Brain.Fm using your Apple ID through the App Store, you must cancel through Apple's account settings, not through the Brain.Fm app itself. Apple manages the subscription and billing entirely.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- On older iOS versions, look for "iTunes and App Stores" instead of "App Store."
- Tap your Apple ID profile picture at the top of the screen.
- Select "View Apple ID" and authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.
- Scroll down and select "Subscriptions."
- You'll see a list of all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find Brain.Fm in the subscriptions list and tap it.
- If Brain.Fm doesn't appear, your subscription may have already expired or been cancelled.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription."
- Warning: Do this at least 24 hours before your next billing date. If you cancel too close to the renewal date, you may still be charged.
- Confirm your cancellation by following Apple's prompts.
- Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email within minutes.
Cancel through google play
If you signed up for Brain.Fm on an Android device using Google Play, Google handles your subscription and you cancel through Google Play settings.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device or visit play.google.com in your browser.
- If using the website, sign in with the Google account linked to your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Payments and subscriptions."
- On the website, click your profile picture and choose "Manage your Google Account."
- Select "Subscriptions" (or "Payments" then "Subscriptions" on the website).
- Google displays all subscriptions currently active on your account.
- Find Brain.Fm and tap it.
- If you don't see Brain.Fm listed, the subscription may already be inactive.
- Select "Cancel subscription."
- Google may ask why you're cancelling; this feedback is optional but can help them improve their service.
- Confirm the cancellation.
- Warning: Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Google processes cancellations quickly, but billing cycles can take time to reflect the change.
What happens after you cancel
Understanding what comes next helps you avoid surprises and stay in control of your account.
Your access and billing after cancellation
When you cancel Brain.Fm, automatic renewal stops immediately. You retain access to Brain.Fm content through the end of your current billing period or free trial, whichever applies. You will not be charged for any period beyond this date.
For example, if you cancel on the 15th of the month but your billing cycle runs until the 30th, you can continue using Brain.Fm until the 30th at no additional cost. After that date, your access ends and the app will prompt you to renew or create a new subscription.
Your account data and preferences
Brain.Fm typically retains your account settings, listening history, and preferences after cancellation. If you resubscribe later, your saved playlists and preferences may still be available. However, if you want Brain.Fm to delete your personal data, contact their support team and request account deletion. Stopee recommends keeping documentation of this request in case you need to follow up.
Refunds and billing disputes
Brain.Fm's standard refund policy is restrictive, but New Zealand consumer law may entitle you to more.
Brain.Fm's stated refund policy
According to Brain.Fm's terms, partial refunds are not issued for the subscription period you've already begun paying for. You must cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date to avoid being charged again. Requests for refunds after a charge has processed are unlikely to succeed under their standard policy.
Your consumer law protections
However, you have stronger rights under New Zealand law. If you're within 14 days of your initial purchase and have not substantially used the service, you may request a full refund under the cooling-off period. "Substantially used" typically means you haven't streamed many tracks or downloaded content. If you cancel within this window, cite the Consumer Guarantees Act and your cooling-off rights in your refund request.
If Brain.Fm fails to deliver the promised service or the quality is unacceptable, you have grounds to demand a refund regardless of when you cancel. For instance, if the app crashes frequently, audio quality is poor, or Brain.Fm removes features you paid for, these failures breach the Consumer Guarantees Act.
Refunds for app store and google play purchases
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, their refund policies apply instead of Brain.Fm's. Apple allows refunds within 15 days of purchase if you request them directly through the App Store. Google Play offers a similar 15-day refund window. Contact Apple or Google support directly to request a refund; Brain.Fm cannot process these on your behalf.
Brain.Fm pricing and plans
Understanding what you're paying helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move.
Current pricing for new zealand subscribers
Brain.Fm publishes pricing primarily in US dollars. New Zealand pricing is not publicly listed on their main website as of 2024. When you access Brain.Fm through your account or the app, your billing currency depends on your regional settings and payment method. Check your most recent invoice or the App Store and Google Play listings to see your actual NZD pricing.
Subscription plans comparison
| Plan type | Billing cycle | Approximate pricing | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | Monthly auto-renewal | Varies (typically USD 9.99 or equivalent) | Short-term users wanting flexibility |
| Annual subscription | Yearly auto-renewal | Varies (typically USD 79.99 or equivalent) | Long-term users seeking savings |
| Free trial | Limited time (usually 7 days) | Free, then auto-charges upon expiry | New users testing the service |
Pro tip: If you're on a monthly plan and considering cancellation, switching to annual billing won't necessarily save you money if you're about to leave. Stick with monthly if you're unsure about long-term use.
Reasons to cancel Brain.Fm
You may have legitimate reasons for stepping away from this service.
When cancellation makes sense
Cancel Brain.Fm if you find the music ineffective for focus or sleep, if you've switched to a free alternative, if the subscription cost doesn't justify the benefit, or if you're experiencing technical issues the company won't fix. Stopee has worked with many subscribers who cancelled after discovering the app drained battery quickly, lacked offline listening despite paid features, or offered limited track variety compared to competitors.
You might also cancel if you're trying to reduce spending, if family members can share an alternative subscription plan, or if you need to switch to a different focus app that integrates better with your workflow.
Common mistakes when cancelling
Cancellation can feel stressful, especially if you've been charged unexpectedly. These mistakes can make your exit more complicated.
Mistake 1: cancelling too close to your renewal date
The most frequent error is waiting until the last day of your billing cycle. If you cancel on the same day as your scheduled renewal, Brain.Fm or your payment processor may still charge you because the system has already initiated the transaction. Cancel at least 48 hours before renewal to be safe.
Mistake 2: contacting the wrong support team
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, emailing Brain.Fm support to cancel won't work. They cannot cancel third-party subscriptions. You must go directly to Apple or Google. Stopee sees this happen constantly: subscribers spend days waiting for Brain.Fm's response when the answer was to contact Apple or Google from the start.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Screenshots or emails confirming your cancellation are your proof if Brain.Fm or your payment processor continues charging you. Without this evidence, disputing a charge becomes harder. Save everything.
Mistake 4: deleting the app without cancelling the subscription
Removing the Brain.Fm app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The subscription remains active and billing continues. You must cancel through your account settings or subscription manager, then delete the app if you wish.

If Brain.Fm continues charging you
Even after cancelling, errant charges happen. Here's how to fight back.
Your dispute process in new zealand
If Brain.Fm or your payment processor charges you after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card company within 30 days and dispute the charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence. Your bank will investigate and, if the charge was unauthorised, will reverse it and may refund you.
Simultaneously, contact Brain.Fm support directly and reference your cancellation confirmation. Request a refund of any errant charges. If Brain.Fm refuses, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission with copies of all documentation. Stopee recommends keeping a timeline of every communication attempt in case you need to pursue this further.
Contact details for Brain.Fm and support
If you need to contact Brain.Fm about cancellation or disputes, use their official support channels.
Brain.Fm support and cancellation address
Brain.Fm does not publish a physical postal address for New Zealand subscribers on their main website. For cancellation inquiries and billing disputes, contact Brain.Fm support through their in-app chat, the support form at brain.fm/support, or your account settings. Reference your account email, subscription plan, and the date of any disputed charges. Response times typically range from 24 to 48 hours.
If you need to escalate a complaint beyond Brain.Fm, contact the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) with details of your attempts to resolve the issue directly with the company.
